TX RXChamp:1983 RX7 fuel in oil

After a hundred miles or so the oil has been diluted by gas. It is thinner and has a noticable smell of gas. I have no idea where to look for a source. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any help. RXChamp

Change the oil.
Try a thicker viscocity if needed.(like 20w/50).
That's all I can say as you posted with virtually No info on mileage or how the car is,condition wise.

If the motor has recently been flooded, that would be the reason for fuel in the oil.
